Tips for Creating Dinosaur Snacks
The snack selection is pretty dependent on the kid’s ages and any potential food allergies. When planning your party don’t forget to check about those first.
For smaller kids, keep it simple – dinosaur popcorn, some dino cookies or a fossil dirt dig challenge will get them excited and their bellies full. If the food is presented in a way that they can interact with it a little bit – even better.
Think digging through some ‘dirt’ to find their treat or something similar – make the food fun and your dinosaur snacks will be the star of the party.
Don’t forget to also offer some food for herbivores – fresh veggies with hummus dip is a crowd-pleaser.
Mix in healthy dinosaur snacks with some naughty treats like dinosaur-inspired ice cream or lava cakes.
